[gradsusr] order of nested functions

[Eric Altshuler]

Hi Matt, 


The functions are evaluated starting with the innermost one, just as in any mathematical expression involving nested functions. In this case the ave is done first, followed by the max.

Hi All, 

What is the order in which GrADS processes nested 
function calls: from the inside to outside, or vice 
versa? For example, 

ga-> d max(ave(cloud,time=jan1850,time=dec1900),z=1,z=4) 

My intent was to take the average, and then the maximum. Looking 
at the output, it appears the max is taken first and then averaged. 
I could be misinterpreting the meaning of the output however. 

Thank you, Matt
